Calls
U 82 was launched on July 1, 1916 at the Germania shipyard in Kiel from the stack and was put into service on September 16 1916th From November 1916 the submarine was assigned to the IV submarine flotilla in Emden and Borkum . The commissioning commander was Kapitänleutnant Hans Adam (September 16, 1916 to April 29, 1918). Captain Heinrich Middendorff exercised command in the period after that until the end of the war (April 30, 1918 to November 11, 1918).
U 82 carried out eleven operations in the North Sea and in the eastern North Atlantic during the First World War . 36 merchant ships with a total tonnage of 110,166 gross register tonnes (GRT) were sunk. These included vehicles from both belligerent powers and neutral states .
The largest ship sunk by U 82 was the French freighter Omnium (8,719 GRT), which sank about 120 miles west-southwest of Penmarch on January 2, 1917 . The ship was on a voyage from New Orleans to Saint-Nazaire when it was attacked by U 82 .
The largest damaged ship was the US troop carrier Mount Vernon , the former Crown Princess Cecilie . The over 18,000 GRT ship suffered a torpedo hit by U 82 on September 5, 1918 , but reached the port of Brest severely damaged . 36 people died in the attack. A few days later, on September 12, 1918, U 82 attacked the British passenger ship Galway Castle (almost 8,000 GRT). The Galway Castle was so badly damaged that 143 people died and the ship sank three days later.
Whereabouts
On January 16, 1919, U 82 was delivered to the United Kingdom as spoils of war . The scrapping took place in the years 1919 and 1920 in the northern English town of Blyth .
Others
Like its sister boats from the same series, the U 82 proved to be of high quality. It became the model for the submarine class IX and foreign designs.
